Young Environmentalists Grant Scheme (UK)

When the funds are spent, no further grants will be offered until the start of the next year. Individuals between the ages of 16 and 25 years old who live in the UK and can demonstrate a need for financial support can apply for up to 50% off the course fee and can ask for help with travel costs for the following courses:

Summer camps

Duke of Edinburgh Conservation

Biodiversity focused residentials

And a selection of the FSC’s Natural History Courses.

Applications can only be accepted for support for one residential course or a maximum of three-day courses per year. Please see the FSC website for further details of eligible courses. Applications must be received at least two weeks before the start of the course but are accepted at any time.
